VIDEO MATERIALS

It is important to preview video materials that deal with violence, abuse or other issues that may trigger memories in a survivor. This is crucial, even if you are not aware of any survivors in your class. You should also arrange to have a counsellor or safe worker available, so that any trauma or pain can be dealt with immediately.
